Goose was on the far shore opposite from the tennis courts - tame and resting and in the water very close to the path.
Woodpecker was active and vocal. Walk on the tennis court side heading north along bike path past bridge. A number of houses up there is a brighter yellow house. The red headed woodpecker is in that general area. Bird's head is turning red... We also saw the tamest immature red tail hawk. It was on the ground with dead squirrel in its talons - people jogged five feet from the bird. Who was not at all stressed by humans. Also present of note: one immature yellow bellied sapsucker, a great blue heron and a active belted kingfisher. Kestrel flew fast through the scattered trees then flew past the park and landed on top of the high school dome. No cackling goose for us today, alas.
